Attorney and former U.S. Army prosecutor Glenn Kirschner said that former President Donald Trump is potentially facing a "five-year felony" over allegations that he took classified national security documents from the White House when he left office last year.
The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) confirmed in a Friday letter to the House Oversight Committee that some 15 boxes Trump returned last month after being requested to do so, contained classified national security documents. "NARA has identified items marked as classified national security information within the boxes," archivist David Ferriero wrote.
Previously, The New York Times reported that classified documents were included with the records Trump was required to return. The Washington Post further reported that some of the documents were classified as "top secret."
Kirschner commented on the scandal during an MSNBC segment on Friday evening, predicting that Trump could face multiple indictments in the near future. Specifically when it comes to the documents issue, the legal expert contended that anyone else would already be indicted given the information currently available.

The moment in which Trumpy-Boy gets his first notice of indictment is the moment when everything begins to fall apart. He'll lose a big chunk of his base, he'll lose his financial potential, he'll be on the block for RICO, he'll even be the focus of fraudulent loans to acquire some of his most opulent possessions. He may be able to get foreign (Saudi and Russian) investments, but we'll all know that those investments will come at a steep price that Trump is willing to pay, including the selling of state secrets. Once that first indictment hits, the Feds will be watching carefully, if they already aren't doing so.
